– Connectory
Tim posted the old one HERE, and distributed an email asking for corrections. Skeeter would like to see it in paper copy with 11×17 paper folded in half with email and phone numbers and map of village and projects and needs to share 15-20 in each booth. Sam says he put a lot of work on this in ‘17 and ‘18, liked having it in the info booth, but a large number of copies ended up being recycled, not a lot of interest. Was a lot of work, maybe somebody needs to be excited to do it. Skeeter might be able to help out…
– REGISTRATION
Hard deadline for payment receipt and info by TOMORROW morning…but we do not have a bank account, so we may delay until Monday or so. Amend deadline for just this year to Monday? John and Karla are here so no problem. CONSENSUS REACHED.
– SITE REPORT
Lots of wattle material still needed. Closed this weekend Sat and Sun. Construction can be there, but the rest please stay home. If you go out during the week, maybe find wattle stuff and bring to village.
– FIRE
Who is on the CV Fire Crew?? All OF US!!! Fire? Send someone to Info booth to report. Look for fire extinguisher Pull pin, Aim, Sweep, Squeeze trigger. Shovel to throw dirt on fire. Wet burlap to slap fire until it goes out. Do NOT dump water from bucket, Fire Extinguisher, Shovel and Burlap in camping areas and all Booths. Extinguishing training in parking lot at various times in week before fair, times TBA. Fire pit: Council will get permit if available. Lotsa burlap rotted. Where can we get more burlap? Maybe get from coffee roasters… Who wants to call them…? Darren Reily, Plaedo will do so, might be some at Warebarn. Need about 30. Buckets are behind green earth.
– CONSTRUCTION UPDATE
H&H this weekend, Benny is fence guy for LV. Coming from Santa Cruz, which is why the schedule is July 1 weekend. Kelsey is OK with the schedule. Rick’s message is below. Booths should do all they could on their own. Karla is looking for the budget items to complete the budget. Diane will talk with Rick about costs.
– COVID UPDATE

CAFÉ MUNDO?
What to do with that space? Doors: we put a sheet in the back of their booth with all that they do there. Maybe do something like that in the space. Activities like massage of workshops, items like posters or…? Anyone wishing to put something or do something in that space should contact Tim: tin@gwproj.com Tim will coordinate space and time.

Good on-the-fly facilitation.

Construction Report.
Due to the rain We must load in the Lumber for new construction. There is a trailer with a white tarp parked by main camp.. You can cart lumber in or you can carry a couple boards at a time period there is a pile of wood set up on the floor of the Restaurant. Do not go in to the restaurant slide the lumber in while standing on the ground firmly. It is not safe to walk in the restaurant. Keep the pile separate by dimension of light mention of lumber please. It would be great if this can be done during the week. DONE!
There are carpenters coming this weekend to begin construction om H&H. I would rather focus their time on building. We have already brought in all the big posts and beams for the construction. Most of the wood is lighter duty.. Thank you for your help. If anyone wishes to do this I would appreciate that they text me 1st. Rick 5415430624. Just so I know. Thank you. DONE!
There are tags in the spirit booth, the community house, the village kitchen, lifelong learning, And doors. Most are minor repairs. We have already started working on the major repairs. I would like to hear from spirit booth and any others to see if they have anyone with carpentry experience, or who want to help, on their team. They have the most work to do on their booth.
If anyone wants to help on major booth construction, they need to coordinate with me. We are having focused teams help the carpenters. Most of this work will involve shaping and standing the boards we are working with. You would need gloves preferably safety glasses. I would consider a handkerchief for filtering or a face mask. And you can count on getting dirty and dusty. My phone number is listed above – text please. Further anyone wishing to gain carpentry skills is also very welcome. If you’re interested in gaining carpentry skills this also needs to be networked through me. The major booth construction should be completed this weekend and the next weekend. After that we will be concentrating on repairs. We appreciate any help we want to be sure to schedule it to make the most of everyone’s efforts. We also expect a commitment of 4 to 8 hours there’s if anyone wants to work on the construction projects. Thank you for your consideration and participation. RIck Construction Coordinator
